Manager sent ‘obscene’ email to work experience girl

A HEDGE fund manager sent a work experience girl a passage of obscene Latin which threatened to “face-f***” and “bugger” his enemies, a tribunal heard.

Mark Lowe, who lives in Switzerland and has a reported wealth of£100 million, admitted that the phrase was “not very polite” but denied that it was “highly inappropriate” and “sexually explicit material”. He used words in response to an email from Ariane Gordji, who was doing work experience at his firm, Nomos Capital, in which she included a Latin passage from St Paul which talks about “love your enemies”.

Lowe, 59, replied with the phrase “irrumabo vos et pedicabo vos” from the poet, Catullus. But the translation offered to the tribunal by the claimant sourced from Wikipedia of “I will face-f*** you and bugger you” was disputed by Lowe.
